Circus of Despair

Verse 1

Twixt tents and tattered curtains they toil,

A dame and swain, bound in iron coil.

Romance barred by the master’s decree,

Their hearts' yearning bids them to flee.

Verse 2

'Tis the ringmaster's stern command,

That love should ne'er clasp hand in hand.

Their eyes, alight with secret fire,

Kindle dreams of escape, a shared desire.

Chorus

Oh, lanterns dim, hear their silent plea,

From gilded cages, they long to be free.

Night after night, in somber reverie,

Two souls entwined, in circled misery.

Verse 3

He jests and juggles, bound by chains unseen,

She dances lightly, in sorrow's sheen.

Their dreams of freedom, softly sigh,

In twilight hours, they vow to fly.

Bridge

The caravan moves, a silent parade,

Through whispers of dusk, their plans are laid.

With every step, their spirits entwine,

A moonlit path, their hearts align.

Chorus

Oh, lanterns dim, hear their silent plea,

From gilded cages, they long to be free.

Night after night, in somber reverie,

Two souls entwined, in circled misery.

Verse 4

The ring of fire, the lion’s roar,

Mask the cries for something more.

No bars of iron, nor chains of gold,

Can bind the tales of love untold.

Outro

As dawn approaches, hope takes flight,

Two hearts shall steal into the night.

Forever bound, in destiny’s weave,

Circus lights fade, as they leave.
